Inspired by Robin Cook's "Choromosome 6"

Rating: 8/10 (6 September 2007)

This was definitely a good movie. The facts were very shocking and very unexpected. The story was very new - like most people think. But in reality, this movie's story is inspired by Robin Cook's novel "Chromosome 6". I am surprised that no one noticed this yet.
This novel is about bonobos who are chimpanzee like creatures but much more similar to human than chimpanzees are. In fact, they are the most genetically similar creatures to humans. Though the movie was not an exact copy of the novel, the idea was strikingly similar. The similarities including the island and secretly carried out operations make it very obvious that the movie is inspired by the novel. I know I am being very vague but if I am more clear, I will give out spoilers.
So, go read the novel and watch the movie since they both are worth it. The movie is fast paced and has quite a bit of suspense to it. The acting is well done and the movie ends unexpectedly as well. If you like thrill, you'll love this movie.
